Required Tools for TT Setup & Maintenance


I've owned turntables since the early 80's but never setup or tried maintaining a TT myself which I would like to get into.

What would you recommend as minimum required tools to setup and maintain a TT? What about reference "how to" material (books)?

My current TT setup consists of the VPI Scoutmaster, VPI JMW-9 Sig. / Dynavector DV-20X Low MC.

Roll of masking tape to make sure the platter can't move. I find this much better than Mint's suggestion of chopping up pencil erasers and wedging them under the platter. Masking tape holds very well and leaves no marks. Put strips on both sides of the platter. I second the eyesight, I sold a lot of turntables when I was in my 40's and set them up for customers without charge and enjoyed doing it. In my late 60's it is a different story.
